Biography
Honey Ryder was the daughter of a marine zoologist, and she lived in the Philippines, Bali, Hawaii, and all over the world, gaining an education by reading her father's encyclopedia. Ryder and her father came to the Caribbean so that her father could study shells. Her father disappeared on Crab Key, Jamaica one day, and Ryder believed that Dr. Julius No may have murdered him, although many claimed that he had drowned. She was allowed to stay where her family once lived, and the landlord let her stay without paying until, one day, he raped her. Ryder retaliated by placing a black widow spider under his mosquito net, and it took a week for the man to die. Afterwards, she became a beachcomber, selling shells in Miami, Florida. One day in 1962, she came across MI6 agent James Bond on the beach of Crab Key while singing "Under the Mango Tree", and she was startled when Bond joined in. The two formed a bond with each other, and they were captured by Dr. No's guards after a flamethrower machine killed Bond's ally Quarrel Stewart. Ryder and Bond were held in captivity together, and they were treated luxuriously before Bond was tortured and Ryder was taken away and tied up. Bond later rescued Ryder after triggering an overload, and they escaped in a small boat, which was later tugged by a Royal Navy vessel. Bond and Ryder made love as they left the island.
